3 Days/2 Nights Floating Market - Hua Hin by SpiceRoads

Tour Itinerary

Seventy kilometers south west of Bangkok the Mae Klong River spreads into a sprawling delta before reaching the Gulf of Thailand. This low-lying land is extremely fertile and over hundreds of years the Thai people have constructed an extensive network of canals to aid irrigation and navigation, and the starting point for our exploration of the central southern part of Thailand. Mixing all different kinds of terrain and locations this trip is a great way to see and experience the other side of Thailand.

The first day of this trip is a great introduction to Thailand as we visit one of the more famous floating markets. After getting a chance to have a look around we head through the maze of canals, which make this such a fascinating area, to the start of the bike ride. The ride will take in many temples, plantations producing all manner of fruits through the back roads to our wonderful small hotel on the canal banks.

On day two of our adventure we really get off the beaten track as we head further south and inland towards Burma. This often missed area on the way to the more well known Hua Hin is a great place to cycle and relax as the roads and trails are virtually traffic free and the scenery is wonderful. Our hotel today is also a secluded hotel nestling deep into hills and provides a tranquil overnight repose.

Our last day is an excellent ride taking in the Pranburi coast just south of Hua Hin. The ride will give you an insight as to the local industries that abound in this area. Our ride ends around lunchtime today and after, you can stay in one of the many great hotels or resort in this area or we can transfer you it more famous neighbour in Hua Hin or you can come back to Bangkok with the team that has supported you throughout the trip - the choice is yours!

This trip is suitable for levels of riders and is an excellent trip for families.

TRIP PROFILE

This tour follows a wide range of trails, including quiet back roads, jeep trails with a few small hills but nothing too strenuous or taxing. Days 1 and 3 of the tour are relatively undemanding as it is flat but day 2 is a little harder due to some small hills.

We ride as a group, with experienced SpiceRoads cycle guides setting an even pace and stop often to visit points of interest and sample some of the local food. Our support vehicle follows close behind with plenty of water. Our guides are knowledgeable on the local area and customs and explain the history, culture and local way-of-life each time we stop.
